𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: After the abrupt and perilous reunion with Erik in front of your neighbors, you try to take a few moments to prevent yourself from self-destructing. The keyword here being try. No matter how much you want to be alone with your thoughts, Erik has other plans. But your desperation to prove that you aren't the same frightened 'Bunny' from two years ago might just backfire when it has to stand the test of Erik's determination.

A/N: 👋🏾Hi, this is me re-warning you all that Erik is both an asshole and an actual supernatural being in this story. Tis the season, so please enjoy the self-indulgent nonsense on my behalf 💕✨

Making cupcakes for a block party wasn’t exactly the norm. Though it was relatively nice outside, there was enough humidity to keep the windows shut and the air conditioning on full blast. It was past noon, so things were slowly cooling off. But in your compact, poorly insulated townhouse, having an oven going at nearly four hundred degrees in the summer would make the kitchen warm no matter what temperature you set it on. You’d begun to sweat, but you powered on, pushing your glasses up your nose and staying fully focused on icing cupcakes instead of thinking about him.

It was working. Even though his presence hovered eerily at the fringes of your mind, it was working. You might’ve stowed away in the house for an hour like a coward, but you were calm.

At least somewhat.

You hadn’t really thought about anything. Not since Sarah had come in to give you icing for your impromptu baking session. You could tell she was dying to ask questions, but she kept them to herself the moment she acknowledged the frazzled state you were in.

You declined her offer to stay the night at her place. Both her boys and EJ would be sleeping over at the church after the block party was over. The idea was to end the day with a movie night. However, you weren’t so sure how long the movie-watching would last with all the playing and running around they were doing.

As much as you would’ve loved Sarah’s company, it didn’t sit right in your heart to put her in so much potential danger. You weren’t sure what was going to happen, but that dull, swirling ache in your gut was the only warning you needed to keep your guard up.

You look abruptly up from your work when you hear the creaking spring of the screen door. Thankfully, it’s only Tyler who peeks his head in a few moments later.

A look of relief hangs on his features when he sees your expectant face looking back at him. “Hey, Sweets, Ms. Munroe sent me to check on things…How you holding up?”

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: You were young, dumb, and in love. You didn’t know what—or who—Erik was until it was too late to back out. Too late to undo the results of that positive pregnancy test. He might look human, but there was a monster under the brown of his skin. Refusing to allow the possibility of becoming ‘like him’, you took your son and ran.

For two years, you live in peace, tucked away in a neighborhood where no one knows your name. Things are fine until they aren’t. You notice the signs pretty early on. By the end of preschool, you can see the changes every time your baby smiles up at you. Then, during the summer of his sixth birthday, Erik makes his return.

And this time, he’s not letting go.

A/N: Right, so this has been in my docs marinating since February. It got a lot longer than I intended, but I go where the muse takes me. So instead of everything in one go as a oneshot, this'll be in about three parts and maybe a fourth epilogue chapter. Cross posting on tumblr for once cause I had fun editing the cover title.

It was a beautiful day. The weather was surprisingly temperate for mid-July; warm enough for summer activities like swimming and barbecuing, but cool enough that the news wasn’t blaring heat advisory warnings through every emergency channel in the city. The perfect day for a block party.

“Mommy, can I go outside now?”

You set down the markers you were drawing with to look at your son. As you push your glasses up the bridge of your nose, EJ’s hopeful face peered back at you from beside the kitchen table, the perfect picture of youthful innocence.

“Did Mr. Jones block the street off yet?” You ask carefully.

“Yes.”

“You sure?”

“Mhm!” EJ nodded vigorously.

You squint, semi-suspicious, but saw no hint of deception. “Alright, you can go–”

“YESSS!” He jumped up, pumping a fist triumphantly.

“Hey, hey!” You call out, halting his mad dash for the door. “Remember to look out and listen to the grownups around, okay?”

“Okay!”

“And mind your hands and manners.” You add sternly.

“Okay.” He nods more solemnly.

When you are sure he was sincere and understood the seriousness of your warning, you smile. “Alright, go on and get out my house.”

EJ returned it with a grin of his own before sprinting to the front door to get his bike.

“And don’t forget your sunglasses!”

He gave another affirmative shout before disappearing outside, screen door tapping shut after him. Your smile faded as he disappeared down the porch and out of sight. His face was changing again—as most growing children’s faces did. But the worry and sadness you felt had nothing to do with him no longer looking like the baby you once fed at your breast. It wasn’t even the slimming of chubbiness from his cheeks.

No. Your worry came from that familiar iridescent glimmer forming in the back of his brown eyes and their sudden sensitivity to light. Your concern was the increasing sharpness of his newly erupted adult teeth and the strength and agility he displayed that none of his peers had.

They prompt questions that Erik will listen to, but doesn't seem to want to answer. It leaves you with half-truths and suspicions that you don't intend to risk anyone's life on.

But as the moon rises, and the streets go cool and quiet, the truth begins whispering to you in your dreams. Then honesty holds your eyes open, while fate sings and sears her gospel upon your skin.

It was suspicious just how normal Erik was actually being. Or maybe you should call him N’Jadaka? You honestly weren’t sure what to think anymore. Almost eight years in, and you’ve just got a name for what he was.

Ongafiyo. Immortal.

It was as fancy and dramatic as one could get. Were these people truly immortal? You had no idea.

With a sigh, you try to stave off the nonsensical urge to let dread paralyze your thoughts. Ramonda had graciously pulled out something much harder than a simple wine cooler and poured a hefty helping into your cup. But what you really wanted was some real wine and a nice warm shower.

Or maybe a soak in the tub.

With the block party still going, you didn’t have time for either just yet, but you did wipe down in the bathroom sink and put on a fresh pair of unsweaty clothing. A tank top and a pair of cotton shorts seemed like a safe option for the rest of the evening. You waved off the worried questions of your friends and neighbors when you came back to join them.

You were fine, all things considered. The brief escape to the relative safety of the bathroom had done you some good. After a good, long staredown in the mirror, you gave your reflection a harshly whispered pep-talk and pulled yourself together. You’d seen your mother do the same many times as a child, and if there was anything you’d learned from her that proved to be useful to you as an adult, it was faking your confidence.

After all, you were a mother now, too; you couldn’t afford to worry.

A/N: It's the end of the line for this little one-shot turned ficlet. Thank you for your patience and to everyone who left me comments and checked in once in a while. I take my time with all of my writing, planning ahead and editing to make sure it's a unique and fun when I post it for others to read. Can't say I'll be posting anything like this onto Tumblr ever again, but I appreciate everyone who made the experience actually enjoyable ‎♡‧₊˚

Noise-cancelling headphones were the only things making the muted roar of the plane’s engines easier to endure. Flying never used to bother you, but five hours of it with all your new and improved senses of sight, smell, and hearing was making it a bit…overstimulating.

You’d shut the window, the glare of the sun off the plane’s wings making you painfully aware of why your son needed sunglasses—but beyond the mild pounding of a headache, your mind is still spinning.

It wasn’t exactly shocking to find out that Erik had whisked you and EJ across the country. He’d wanted you both as far away from T’Chaka as possible. The details he’d given were dubious at best, but the fact that he and his uncle weren’t on good terms was a good enough reason for you.

Human or not, the concept of your local alderman wanting you dead doesn’t sit well with you. Even with the agreed-upon law against harming Ongafiyo children, you weren’t going to chance EJ being caught up in all this mess.

That was what prompted you to run in the first place. And the fact that you were somewhat vindicated for seeing the danger surrounding Erik wasn’t lost on you.

However, it wasn’t lost on him either…

Each fork shines like gold.

Everything hurts; every muscle tightens in cramps, and all your nerves scream in agony—right down to the roots of your teeth. If you could breathe, you’d scream, but it feels like your lungs are paralyzed behind your ribs. In spite of the terrifying pain, confusion is the most prominent emotion echoing through your skull. You didn’t understand.

Why were you hurting?

Who was hurting you?

Where was your son? Was he okay? Was he being forced to endure this same torture?

The thought frightens you even more. There was nothing you could do about it; more than just your lungs were being paralyzed by the shock to your system. But even as fear crescendoed, your mind went to the only other person you knew could keep him safe.

You reach out, likely grasping for something that was no longer there. You try anyway—looking for him, looking for–

“It’s okay, B…I got you.”

The low voice rises over the noise in your head. Finally, you suck in a painful breath…

And the world goes quiet.
